After deciding on the trip to the newspaper office, the two of them did not delve into each other's thoughts. One drank tea quietly, and the other read a book quietly. The silence gave Cuihong in the room an inexplicable illusion of peace and tranquility.
But both of them were engaged, so it made no sense to think so. Cuihong shook her head and quickly suppressed the thought.
He Nanjin drank a lot of water and couldn't say much to Yu Shu. Seeing that Yu Shu really paid all her attention to her, He Nanjin touched her face and couldn't help but wonder if he had been practicing too much recently and was so tired that he looked ugly. .
After coming out of Yu Shu's courtyard with such complicated emotions, He Nanjin was called by Mrs. He before she could return to her courtyard.
Mrs. He came out of the party wearing a red and black cheongsam that was very elegant and dignified. When she saw He Nanjin coming over, she put down her tea cup and reminded her in a solemn tone.
"He Nanjin, you have a fiancée. It is instinct for men to like good colors. But if you can't control this instinct, you will provoke Shu'er and ruin her reputation even if you are engaged. I can't educate your mother well, so you can't. Don’t ask for it.”
Mrs. He's voice was neither soft nor serious, but it was full of warning.
He Nanjin listened to the words and straightened his expression.
"Miss Bai already has a sweetheart, and the engagement will be broken off soon. I don't know how many days this engagement with me will last."
His words were very plain. Not only was he not at all concerned about his fiancée cuckolding him, he even hoped that Bai Rouwan would act quickly so that he wouldn't have trouble pursuing someone with the reputation of being engaged.
"What's going on?" Mrs. He knocked the teacup heavily on the table and asked seriously.
After Bai Rouwan returned to China, she and Jiang Hua attended many gatherings of literati students, but the place and circle of their gatherings were different from those of rich ladies.
Coupled with the special nature of the Commander's Mansion, even if the ladies knew about the two of them, no one dared to say anything in front of Mrs. He before they were sure of the He family's attitude, for fear of damaging the family with just one word. people.
Therefore, after a few days, Mrs. He only knew that Jiang Hua was famous in Haicheng, but she did not know that the person standing next to Jiang Hua at every party was Bai Rouwan.
He Nanjin, who wanted to facilitate the divorce of the He and Bai families as soon as possible, naturally would not hide this matter, and neatly told what he heard in the teahouse.
After learning that her son's fiancée was having an affair with her boyfriend, and that she wanted to break off the engagement together, Mrs. He lost her usual dignified demeanor and said quite angrily.
"The daughter of the Bai family has been raised well. If you don't tell the He family about this happening, are you going to let your daughter pretend to be another man and marry into the He family?" Mrs. He felt disgusted when she thought of this and said to Bai Rouwan I didn't have any good feelings anymore, so I expressed it immediately.
"The He family can't afford this unruly daughter-in-law. I will go to the Bai family with you tomorrow to call off the marriage. If Bai Rouwan wants to be with another man, she will let them go."
He Nanjin leaned back on the chair and spoke slowly.
"It's her Bai family's fault. We took the initiative to cancel the engagement. We didn't just give them a reason to say that the He family was dissatisfied with Bai Rouwan. It would be better to let Bai Rouwan and Jiang Hua's free love be known to everyone in Haicheng and let Bai Rouwan come to congratulate her. I'll apologize and then break off the engagement."
Of course, the key point is that He Nanjin doesn't want to leave any stain on him, which makes some people put some unpleasant words on a person.
Mrs. He, who was about to agree with He Nanjin's words, recalled the words again and frowned tightly.
"Are you talking about Bai Rouwan and Jiang Hua? Jiang Hua is the sweetheart of the Bai family girl who wants to break off the engagement and be together?"
He Nan nodded solemnly.
His affirmation made Mrs. He's brows jump. She couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and slammed the table so hard that the tea cup overflowed.
